Shae did a fantastic job bringing my wedding vision to life. The florals were absolutely perfect and I loved my bouquet more than I could've imagined. They worked so well with our venue, Talega Golf Club, that I didn't have to worry about a thing when I got there. They also setup the additional decor items, like drape for the arbor and candles for the tables, perfectly without me having to lift a finger on the big day. They were also the most reasonable quote I received for all the florals that I wanted and then some. They even threw in flowers for the cake, welcome sign, and sign in and in memory tables without any additional cost. I could not recommend them more!

Fantasy Florals did an AMAZING job for my wedding in August! We were so blown away by the florals. The price point is good too! I would 100% recommend using them.

Beautiful Wedding Floral Arrangements
Fantasy Floral Designs did a beautiful job at our wedding in June. I don't know a lot about different flowers but when talking with Fantasy Floral Designs I sent them images of what I envisioned for our wedding, gave the color palettes, and allowed them to use total creative freedom and they did not disappoint! Our floral arrangements were incredible and so perfect for our special day!

Amazing, beautiful and affordable!
Fantasy Florals was AMAZING! I trusted Shealyn and Amanda, they were so helpful with flower reusage, helping pick out flowers and the overall design of the big day! I don’t know anything about flowers and I was soo happy with how they turned out! I had 13 bridesmaids so it was crazy and everything from a floral decor standpoint went amazing! I would recommend over and over again! They are also one of the most affordable and work within your budget!

Incredible is an understatement!
To say Fantasy Florals did an incredible job is an understatement. They fully blew it out of the water! Shae was so sweet to work with. She took my color palette and inspiration photos and made something even more beautiful than I could’ve imagined. She was super helpful with ideas to help me stay in budget and was a breeze to work with from beginning to end. They made our big day come together perfectly. I will definitely be hiring them again for future parties. 100/10

Absolutely speechless. Shea is a true gem!
It was such a pleasure working with her and all the florals she put together were absolutely stunning. People are STILL talking about how gorgeous the flowers were. From our first chat to the wedding day, she always made me feel comfortable and provided guidance when and where I had questions. I tend to be a little indecisive with big decisions, and from Day 1 it's as though she just understood me and what I was interested in.
I would highly recommend her to anyone planning their wedding!

Seamless experience and stunning florals
I had such a great experience working with Fantasy Florals. I had one Pinterest board and they immediately understood the vibe I was going for and delivered way above and beyond my expectations. They worked seamlessly with my other vendors (cake, ceremony, etc.) and even transitioned florals from my ceremony to my reception. I really appreciated how they made the process so easy for me. But most importantly, I was just stunned by how gorgeous everything looked on my big day and how well they captured my vision of loose, fun, textured, and minimalist, while making such a beautiful statement with florals. Months later, my family and friends are still raving about how beautiful the florals were!

Fantasy Floral Design Are The Best!
Look no more, Fantasy Floral Designs are the best florist in town! Amanda and Shealyn are truly the best. They were both so easy to work with and so talented. They took our vision and completely nailed it. They made suggestions that I didn’t even think of and it truly helped so much. Everyone on the day of my wedding couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful the florals were. I can’t say enough good things about them! Truly the best in the business and they will give you nothing but the best for your big day. Can not recommend enough!

Fantasy Floral Designs was wonderful!
We got married this past October 2021, and absolutely loved our flowers as well as overall experience with fantasy floral designs. We communicated with Shealyn, whom was so friendly and always responded promptly. There is a lot going on on your wedding day, and it was such a relief to not have to worry about the flowers! Everything looked beautiful!

The flowers were absolutely beautiful. We hired Fantasy Floral for our wedding. Everything from the bouquets to the arch was perfect. They made sure to get my idea of a “Fall sunset vibe” into the arrangements. They were also very flexible when I needed to change certain details! You guys rock! ❤️

Wildly Magical T
Fantasy Floral Designs managed to transform my brother and sister-in-law's backyard into a wildly beautiful tropical wedding. I couldn't have dreamt up a fraction of their magic. The only direction I gave the mother-daughter power duo was "you can do whatever you can dream up besides bright pink." They delivered on their promise to create our fantasy- everything they created was unique and wildly stunning. They used live plants and mushrooms to add texture to every element of their design. They used massive palms to represent the life we lived in the tropics and represented our love for the ocean with beautiful driftwood. Not only did they create spectacular arrangements, but they styled our entire wedding. I'd urge any couple to forget about their Pinterest board and allow these ladies to do what they do best- create!

Just perfect!
Fantasy Floral Designs really hit it out of the ballpark with our wedding. Shealyn was so attentive, responsive, and flexible with us as we planned our perfect day. I changed my entire theme twice and she helped me with figuring out how we can get the most out of our budget. She was super quick to respond to any questions and was always so nice! For our wedding day, I was in shock how beautiful all the arrangements, bouquets, and arch turned out. I really could not have dreamt up better looking flowers. Fantasy Floral Designs went above & beyond for us and we know they will for you too. Absolutely recommend 100% over & over again!!

Aloha Vibes All Around!
Amanda and Shealyn are amazing! Our wedding was a tropical theme and they brought our vision to life!
We were initially supposed to get married on 5/2 and had to change to 10/3; they were understanding and accommodating which we really appreciated.
They were always accessible, we added some more arrangements last minute and it was no problem. We wanted some specific colors and leaves incorporated and they nailed it. My bouquet was absolutely stunning - received so many compliments on this from people all over. They also created a beautiful flower crown for me which I wore for the reception and was a huge hit!
We leveraged their diamond arch which looked beautiful at our venue on the water. They decorated it with beautiful greens and some pops of color. It didn't even look real it was so beautiful. Even my mother and mother-in-law who had to watch via Zoom were impressed.
I strongly recommend working with them for your event. If we ever have floral needs again we'll definitely reach out to them!

Magazine-worthy talent
Amanda and Shea are a rockstar team!
Early on, my husband and I decided we didn't want to dedicate a fortune to florals. We assumed they were simply a "nice addition" to a wedding. Amanda and Shea were so accommodating to our budget, and I never once felt like they were trying to up-sell me into additional pieces or decorations. They confidently took my inspiration and essentially said "We got it!"
Due to Covid and me living far away, we never got to meet in person before the wedding, so I went into my wedding day pretty blindly. But WOW! Had I not known, I would have assumed we did indeed drop a fortune on our florals. I could not believe how beautiful and romantic every detail turned out. It went well beyond a "nice addition" and was truly a focal point of both the ceremony and reception. I was truly blown away by their efforts and their talents and am so glad I found them for our special day.
Thank you, Amanda and Shea, for making my wedding look like it came straight from a magazine spread!

We love fantasy floral designs!
My Finance and I did not know where to begin with coordinating flowers for our wedding day. How much should we spend, how many do we need, what flowers do we want, etc, etc etc.
The moment we started working with Amanda at Fantasy Floral Designs, we felt immediate, trust, relief and clarity.
Amanda and her team at Floral Designers have strong aesthetic sensibilities and were AMAZING to work with! We are so grateful for the incredibly lush, arrangements that surrounded us on our wedding day.
Amanda provided a package that met our needs aesthetically and financially. She listened to us with patience, and offered her expert opinion. We could not have been more pleased with the execution day of, and highly recommend her team if you're looking for an awesome floral team !!

Beautiful Flowers, Great Service
My now husband hired Amanda to do the florals for our small wedding since it was something we absolutely did not want to DIY. She was amazingly responsive, and after we politely let her know her initial quote was out of our budget, she worked with us so we could have florals within our budget. On the wedding day, our other on-site vendors raved about how well organized she was in dropping off our day of florals. Our guests were also commenting all night on our centerpieces and arch floral display. It was a great decision to hire her!

A true artist!
Amanda of Fantasy Floral Designs was such a pleasure to work with! We hired her for our wedding at the San Juan Mission and reception at Five Crowns in Newport Beach. I wasn’t sure what to expect because her prices were so reasonable compared to some of the crazy quotes I got from other florists in OC! The moment we met, I just loved her enthusiasm and passion for her work and I could tell she really was a super creative artist type. I trusted the other reviews and really let Amanda just do her thing and let her inspiration flow! I shared my invites with her and some pictures of what I liked and let her run with it. I couldn’t believe how INCREDIBLY STUNNING all the florals turned out! WOW. My bouquet was better than I could have ever dreamed of! One of my accents was black velvet and Amanda found this gorgeous black velvet ribbon from France for my bouquet and it was such a show stopper. We ended up adding a sweetheart table last minute and Amanda knew exactly what to do to make it gorgeous. All of the centerpieces were so unique and many of my guest ended up taking them home and told me they lasted for another 10 days. I was so happy that nothing went to waste because I would have taken all the flowers home if I could have! I honestly can’t recommend Fantasy Floral enough and I will use her for any and every event I have in the future!

Fabulous tropical inspired wedding!
I knew I was going to work with Amanda from out first encounter. She was genuine, kind, and knowledgable. She understood my vision immediately with little inspiration or direction. She asks for details you didn't think of and gives her honest opinion. She was a dream to work with and made the whole process very easy on a Bride who knows nothing about florals or table design! She also provided the cutest addition of mini pineapple boutonnieres that was a perfect details for the day!
BUT, the best thing she did was my stunning bouquet! I wasn't even thinking about it too much knowing she would come up with something great but she exceeded expectations! It was absolutely beautiful.
To sum up, you will not be disappointed, you will get great results, expert advice, and a great deal! She is worth every penny! Put your trust in Fantasy Floral Designs.

Speechless with the work that Fantasy Floral Designs did for our wedding day! We had a vision, showed a few photos, and trusted Amanda to make it happen. She went above and beyond what we could have ever dreamed of. Our flowers were reusable in different areas and felt incredibly soft and romantic. I gave her complete control over where to put the flowers all over the venue and she is truly in her element. She is incredibly honest and great to work with throughout the entire process. She also made a darling flower crown for my bridal shower as well, which was perfect for my day!

We could not have been happier with Fantasy Florals. Amanda puts a lot of thought into her work, and it shows. With very little direction (I think we provided around 5 Pinterest photos as inspiration), she took our vision and made it even better than we could have imagined. She's also very detail oriented and will help you think of things you may have overlooked. I would highly recommend this florist!

Seriously, do not work with any other florist other than Amanda at Fantasy Floral Designs! I found her by recommendation by my wedding venue at Turnip Rose Promenade and Gardens. She is SO easy to work with and always has the sweetest things to say! She makes you feel like you are doing business with family! Her prices are affordable and worth every penny. I trusted her with picking literally all of my flowers, and simply gave her a color scheme to go off of. She made us the most beautiful, romantic bouquets and pieces for my gazebo, head table, and small centerpieces for our tables! I let her know I was mainly using candles for my centerpieces, so she made me these gorgeous mini vases with flowers that overflowed to give the table the perfect amount of florals. Everyone wanted to go home with one! She went above and beyond and totally exceeded our expectations! If you want a florist who is fast on her quotes, quick to respond to your email, and has gorgeous taste, WORK WITH AMANDA. Thank you from a happy bride!

Hiring Amanda was one of the best decisions that my husband and I made while planning our wedding! Amanda is so sweet, funny, and talented. She was knowledgeable and helpful throughout the whole process and had wonderful ideas. We went in with a specific budget and Amanda was incredible about ensuring that we did not go over that amount. I gave Amanda a few pictures that I liked and she created bouquets and arrangements that more than exceeded my expectations. The flowers that she put together were beautiful and worked perfectly with our seating plan at the venue. I am recommending that all my friends hire Amanda for their flowers when they get married!

I love love love flowers. However, finding a florist was one of the most stressful parts of planning our wedding. Flowers are just so darn expensive (which can freak a bride out!)…but also so beautiful and totally worth it in the end. In our search for a wedding florist, all the quotes we got back were outrageous. Then, through a referral by my wedding hair/makeup artist, we found Amanda and Fantasy Floral Designs. I instantly liked how real and straightforward Amanda was. We had a sit-down, no-pressure consultation and she seemed to really get our vision. She also understood our budget and worked with us to create beautiful arrangements in the look we dreamed of, but with seasonal flowers to keep our costs down. I was beyond happy with how the bouquets and centerpieces turned out. We had a black and white striped theme with gold accents, and the pop of color of our bright florals was absolutely stunning and perfect - everything I dreamed of. Amanda did an amazing job!

I don't even know that I have the right words to express how truly amazing Amanda is. I planned my entire wedding in less than 2 months so by the time I met with Amanda I was so stressed out! She was so calm, asked good questions, took the time to understand my vision, worked with me on pricing, and the end results were BEYOND SPECTACULAR. We had obviously discussed what I was looking for and I had sent her a picture of the bouquet I fell in love with on Pinterest, hoping that she would be able to get me something similar within my budget. She literally made the EXACT bouquet and all of the centerpieces and other flowers for the ceremony and reception went along perfectly with the bouquet. When my coordinator brought me my bouquet for my first look pictures I was in absolute awe. I should also mention that I didn't realize I would need my bouquet for my first look so I called her the morning of to ask if she could drop off the flowers earlier than I had originally asked her to and she was so accommodating. She is professional, sweet, and I will definitely user her again for any floral needs I may have in the future. Thank you so much for making our special day so incredibly beautiful. You are a huge reason our pictures came out so beautifully.

I got married in September 2015 at Casa Romantica and used Amanda as my florist. Amanda is hands down the most INCREDIBLY TALENTED florist. Due to some hiccups in wedding planning, I was in the market for an new florist and I met Amanda a mere weeks before my big day. Notwithstanding the short time frame, she gave me the most incredible flowers for my big day. She was professional, she stayed on budget, and she understood my vision. Not only were the arrangements breathtaking, but they were overflowing with flowers!! On top of that, she also did our flowers for the rehearsal dinner, where she created beautiful center pieces that were different, but also cohesive with my wedding, so that we could re-use them on the big day. My guests could not stop talking about how amazing the flowers were. Amanda, I cannot say thank you enough for making my wedding perfect. I would recommend Amanda to every bride.

The bouquets Amanda did for my wife and I were absolutely amazing! With two brides we needed two bouquets and she did an a great job making them slightly different but each complimented the other, I highly recommend!! Amanda was also so fabulous recommending different decoration ideas that helped us with other aspects of the wedding..Thank you sooo much for adding such beauty to our perfect day!

I am an event designer based in Southern California and have worked with Amanda on many events, including my own wedding in 2012. She is by far the most accommodating and talented florist in the business. She is creative and a true stylist - an awesome person to collaborate with...Amanda can work with modest budgets and is great with making any space look like a million bucks, and is wonderful at the extravagant and exclusive weddings as well. Can't say enough about her, FABULOUS!

Amanda, Amanda, Amanda!!!! We can't thank you enough for everything that you have done for us!!!! Every little detail that you had your hand it turned to gold...literally!!! Amanda and her team were AMAZING. We did not have very much time for setup and they worked their magic and gave me my dream wedding. I am not the most traditional gal out there so when it came to decor - I knew I wanted something different. With Amanda, it was easy. I told her that I wanted more focus on the candles with less focus on flowers and wanted it to be playful, fun and timeless all at the same time. Yeah...I know, none of what I described really makes any sense together. But in comes Amanda and her crazy, impressive ideas! I walked in for my first look of the room and I started to tear up. It was more than what I could have imagined for my own wedding and a HUGE part was because of Amanda. So, if you're a bride looking for a wonderful florist who is fun, straight-forward, honest and flat out amazing, look no further! Amanda and the Fantasy Floral team is who you need =)

When I looked for a floral business partner, I fell into a gold mine with Fantasy Floral Design. What talent and professionalism. My daughter's wedding was beyond my expectation. They are by far, one of the best florist's I've ever worked with. Five stars doesn't do them justice. I give them 10 stars. You know you've made the right decision when the owner of the company works your event. Their commitment to excellence is recognized and highly endorsed.

I found Fantasy Floral through MSN while logging on to my computer at work about a little over a week before my wedding! In a weekend my family was able to gather together jewelry and other odds and ends for me to make my brooch bouquet! Most all of my correspondence with Amanda was through email. I did speak with her on the phone once I had mailed everything to her and I saw confirmation that she received it (I am in NY and she is in CA). Amanda was very responsive in helping to ease my anxiety with it arriving in time for my wedding! Her prices were very affordable even with the rush fee! Amanda's brooch bouquet made my wedding extremely special!! I was able to include jewelry and heirlooms that I couldn't wear into my special day! I now have a beautiful bouquet that I will be able to add to when I pass it down through the family! I absolutely love it! Priceless!! Thank you Amanda!!!

Finding a florist was a big decision for me. It was a big chunk of my budget. So I wanted to find one that gave me more bang for my buck. I have to say Amanda at Fantasy florals hit it out of the park. She did such an amazing job on my bouquets and centerpieces....everything was just amazing! I had a lot of ideas, such as wanting to use succulants in my bouquets and centerpieces. I gave her the ideas and she used her magic and came up with something way better than I imagined. I received many compliments on the girls bouquets and the centerpieces. She even used air plants for the guys boutinneers (sp?) ..so cool!!! :o) Thanks Amanda!! You did an amazing job!

Amanda did the most BEAUTIFUL floral arrangements for my wedding last month and she, being a true artist, came up with so many ideas to truly turn our wedding into a DREAM wedding!! It was totally beyond my expectations!! She is so friendly, enthusiastic and fun that it made the whole process so easy and exciting.
My favorite part was getting my Brooch Bouquet from Amanda. I still look at it everyday with amazement. She was able to incorporate all of my most meaningful brooches from my Grandma, Mother and best friends, to create a work of art that I will have for the rest of my life. Maybe even pass down to a daughter someday.. :)
Amanda is such a talent and I feel so lucky for getting the opportunity to meet and work with her.

Amanda ALWAYS pulls through. She is SO talented. I received so many compliments on my wedding thanks to Amanda! She set the tone for my wedding! Amanda is such an amzaing artist. She's the type of florist that understands the concept and runs with it. My wedding colors were white, cream and green. Instead of being a boring florist and only using those colors I chose, Amanda added muted colors to the arrangement (soft antique pink) to bring out my primary colors and set the mood for my venue. I am very finicky about my flowers and it take someone like Amanda to get the job done right and beyond people expectations. Her work is very couture for half the price. I love Amanda and her work. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants gorgeous flowers at their wedding. I love Amanda~

From the moment we met Amanda Heer and her company, Fantasy Floral, we knew we had to have her for our daughter's wedding. We interviewed about four other florists and she was clearly far above all the rest. What is amazing about Amanda is that not only does she know flowers and creates beautiful artistry with her work, but she listens to what ideas you have and she makes them all come to fruition. She also has an artist's eye on how to set up venues, tables, and gives you suggestions on how to make your wedding memorable in every detail. With her laptop, she mapped out how our venue should look and she put us in touch with a company that rented out vintage furniture to give us the look we wanted. She is truly an artist ... you won't be disappointed. Thank you Amanda, our daughter's wedding was a dream come true!

Thank you Amanda and team for creating such gorgeous flowers for our wedding. Everything was spectacular. We had a fall wedding and the colors were so rich. I loved my bouquet of rust colored lilies and roses, and it stayed fresh for a week at home after the wedding in a vase! And what she did for the Kings Table flowers was so creative and smart. She was able to use the flowers from the atrium arch on the table so nothing was wasted. FFD is always the first florist I call when needing flowers or recommending to others.

Amanda did the flowers for my daughters wedding and she did an exceptional job. The flowers were beautiful and exactly what my daughter had in mind. The flowers were fresh, and beautiful. She knows the venues and churches around and can save you money if you are on a tight budget. She was a little hard to get in touch with (but she's good at her job and busy) She did an awesome job. I highly recommend her.

WOW! Words cannot describe how amazing our experience has been with Fantasy Floral Designs. We had to move our wedding 3 times due to COVID and the pandemic, and FFD was accommodating every step of the way! Even after our date had changed several times, they remembered everything we had discussed in prior meetings! When the big day came, it was exactly like the pictures I had shown. Our guests and family were in awe of how beautiful everything turned out! If you are considering a wedding in the OC area- I HIGHLY recommend them! Thank you for creating the wedding I always wanted Fantasy Floral Designs!

We are so happy to have chosen Fantasy Floral Designs out of so many other options! I felt their prices were great for the quality of work they provide. Amanda was such a dear communicating with throughout the entire process and can't thank her enough for the gorgeous flowers that decorated our reception site. I had people left and right asking me to take some home! I had requested a certain flower that I knew might be hard to get since they are out of season during our wedding and lo and behold, my bouquets were littered with them! I almost cried tears of happiness just seeing them! We had their flowers used mainly to decorate our reception site, but she still managed to deliver the flowers needed for our ceremony right at my hotel door! I was pleasantly surprised by the added effort to make my day hassle free. Again, cannot thank them enough for everything!! Definite recommend!

I can't quite comment at this point on how the flowers will look as our wedding date is coming up shortly. However, I will say I did a lot of researching of florists as I wanted something within my budget. When I found Amanda Heer she was extremely helpful and was willing to work with me to create my vision while being within my budget. I had to compromise some (some highs and some lows) but she was willing to use some of the major flowers I wanted while subing in other flowers that weren't so expensive to create the look I wanted.
Another huge point was her attention to detail. She asked questions, she followed up, and she provided break downs for all the pieces we wanted so I knew exact how much everything cost. I myself am a stickler for details and feel comfortable and in good hands with Amanda. .

Amanda was fantastic to work with. She does such beautiful work, and I was shocked at how much more affordable she was than other florists I contacted. I wasn't quite sure what I wanted in terms of ceremony flowers, and left it in her hands. She came up with a beautiful design that really complimented the ceremony site.
My only complaint is that I had requested that all my flowers be "shades of light pink." The ceremony flowers ended up being more of a coral tone, reception centerpieces ended up being almost ivory, bridesmaid bouquets ended up being more of a pale pink tone, and bridal bouquet ended up being more of a bright pink tone. When looked at separately, the flowers were all gorgeously arranged, and I have no complaint about the quality of the flowers themselves. I just wish that the shades matched more with each other in a cohesive way.
In the end, I don't think anyone noticed except for me anyway, and I'm still getting compliments from guests about how beautiful the wedding was. Overall I would recommend Amanda because of her extensive knowledge and her beautiful arrangements.

Amanda who is the florist and owner of Fantasy Floral was super easy to work with and flexible with what all the last minute changes I made before the wedding. Her staff was on time for drop off at the hotel for all the personal flowers and at the church. We needed to take the pillars from the church to the reception site and her staff was at the church on time for the delivery. Highly recommended.

If I could add a star (or 5!) for Amanda I would!
Amanda MADE our wedding. I never knew how much of a difference flowers could make, or a florist for that matter, until Amanda showed up and ROCKED it on our wedding day.
I told Amanda the flower types that I liked, being a bit vague since I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted. But when describing the aura and feel that I wanted the wedding to have, Amanda just turned that into reality. Not only did Amanda create INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL centerpieces and flower arrangements, Amanda took my 10 boxes of candles and frames and plaques (with love sayings) and placed them throughout the venue to create a beautiful masterpiece. Amanda as a person and florist is just WONDERFUL. She is a absolute pleasure to work with.
Further, I am glad that I gave Amanda the leeway to do what she thought was best--not being too picky or directing specifics too much--allowing her to use her creativity. And BOY, was that the best decision in my wedding planning!
WEDDING DAY:
When walking into the venue, my eyes welled up with tears. The reception looked ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. I was so incredibly happy that Amanda somehow turned my dream into reality and surpassed all my expectations.
When walking into the bridal suite to see my bouquets for the first time, I DID cry. They were IN.CREDIBLE. Honestly amazing. Beautiful. I cannot even describe how perfect they were. Exactly what I had wanted but couldn't describe.
BOTTOM LINE: Amanda is wonderful. If you don't select her as your florist, you are making a mistake. She will surpass all your dreams (and she is REALLY reasonable! She will work with your budget...). Flowers really can make a difference in a wedding, and Amanda will do just that!!
Honestly, over 10 people came up to me throughout the night and during brunch the next day to compliment me on the centerpieces, table arrangements, and flowers! Never do people even bring such things up or notice such things at weddings! But with Amanda and her incredible work, you couldn't ignore the beauty.
I LOVE AMANDA HEER!

Beautiful work from a talented & flexible team
We worked with Shealyn and Amanda for our wedding and they pulled off stunning work! They were very communicative and flexible to make our vision work for the space, offering advice from their deep experience. For couples that are very particular abut the exact colors and flowers used, you'll need to be very clear about your wishes because the florals/colors we received were slightly off from our moodboard, but the overall effect was so gorgeous we didn't really care. They made my greenhouse wedding dreams come true!

Amanda, the owner of Fantasy Floral Designs is amazing at what she does. She helped us plan beginning to end of our entire design, including incorporating candles, linens, and making a consistent and elegant look throughout our wedding at Arroyo Trabuco Golf Course. She was extremely friendly, and had a great team. Nothing went unexpected, and our wedding was exactly as I had wanted it to be.

Amanda is the first original maker for brooch bouquet. She does amazing work. She is fast in service. I called Amanda last minute like two weeks before my wedding to see if she could rush order my bouquet and she did it. The brooch bouquet is something I could keep forever and it was the talk of the wedding. Thank you so much Amanda for making this wondering and special bouquet that I will pass on to my daughter. Thank you!

Our flowers looked amazing thanks to Amanda! While the response time can sometimes be a little longer than other vendors, she always comes through in the end. She took my crazy ideas and put them together in a georgous, timeless design.

My flowers were the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen, especially my bridal bouquet. The cost is average for this area. My florist wrote down everything I wanted and she did exactly what I said. I have gotten so many complements from family & friends!

I was particularly disappointed because I am a stickler for flowers and I wanted to make sure I hired a professional for my bouquet. I had friends help with the decorative flowers, but this was my splurge. We had a consult where we discussed she'd make my bridal bouquet in a crescent shape. She raved about how it would be Next Big Thing. Day of she brings my bouquet and it is not crescent at all. Flowers were quality, she used the types and colors we had on the list, but the style was not what I expected. I suppose I should have been in closer communication with her about the design specifics-I had trusted her too blindly. It was pretty and quality, but not what I wanted.
BUT here's the clincher! It's THE morning after, after the wedding (and this was our first night together, if ya know what I mean). Everyone knew to leave us alone, which is just common sense.
I GET A TEXT, that morning while still in bed with my new husband....from the florist!! She says something like "I'd love to see photos of the bride with the bouquet!" I couldn't believe she would interrupt the bride herself on the morning after. I'm STILL shaking my head all this time later.
I think this florist is used to fancy customers with big orders. She's VERY proud of her work, and overly confident. If you are looking for someone to work with you and if you truly want to be heard I wouldn't recommend her. I think she is more of an artiste with visions for her personal work, and isn't in tune with the bride.

My mother employed Amanda in July (before our October wedding) to do a bridal, bridesmaids, flower girl wands, and cake tipper from brooches she has collected over the years. The items turned out stunning. The problem we had was in communication. We arrived in CA one week before te wedding and not once did amanda answer her phone. Her assistant would call us back at the end of the day. After months with te brooches Amanda could not get them to us till the day of the wedding! And my mother had to leave te bridal suite to go pick them up! It was the only thing that stressed me out the entire wedding day!
Above all the communication issue was seen in our items. My mother has separated all the brooches for each item specifically and this was completely disregarded. Brooches that were meant to be in my bouquet were on the flower girl wands.
I suggest if you use Amanda that you make it clear when your items will be available and how she is going to prepare them.
No doubt she does amazing work but it was not on the professional level I expected with regards to communication. I would recommend her with caution.

I am not one to write bad reviews, but considering the first thing I thought about when I walked into my wedding reception was "omg what are these flowers? they're nothing like I asked for" I figured I should say something here.
We didn't have a large budget for flowers, we had many other things for the wedding we prioritized above flowers. However, I didn't realize that because of my budget I would not get anything close to what I asked for when it came to the flowers for my wedding.
I had been planning my wedding long distance so I had sent Amanda ample photos...so many in fact that I thought it could even be overkill...all of the photos were of ivory flowers. Multiple emails and photos were exchanged, we met in person and discussed our vision, more photos were sent about 3 weeks before the wedding...I thought I had made it perfectly clear that I wanted ALL ivory/white flowers for the wedding (centerpieces, arch, bouquets etc). Well, that is not what we got. We got ivory flowers for the bouquets, bouts and pins and the petals down the aisle...that was it. There was not ONE white or ivory flower in any of our centerpieces. I was thoroughly disappointed to say the least.
I knew we had a tight budget for flowers but Amanda NEVER once told me that she could not meet our vision with it, never once showed concern over our budget vs what we wanted, nothing. So I thought that we would at least get a smaller version of all of the photos I had sent her...that was not the case. It was absolutely nothing like what we had discussed or like the photos I had sent. I am realistic, I knew that we would not get exactly what the photos had, and I knew our budget was small, but to not have a SINGLE white/ivory flower in the arch or the centerpieces when we asked for ALL white/ivory flowers? Thoroughly disappointed...she was also an hour late dropping off flowers which then pushed pictures back and in turn the whole wedding. I don't recommend.

Amanda's level of service leading into the wedding was very scattered. I didn't feel confident in her services and never felt like I was getting a fair price. Among many issues, she had very unprofessional staff on location on the day of our wedding. After our wedding, when we brought our issues to her attention, she was completely unapologetic and made excuses rather than taking responsibility for what happened. We ended up spending close to $3,000 and should have gone with another vendor. My wedding bouquet was literally 13 roses and some hydrangea (which was dying since it was so hot), not to mention it was not in the color scheme we talked about (which she also did not take responsibility for, even after showing her images of what I had previously sent her). Not only was it a poor value, it was a dreadful experience and I would not recommend her to anyone. Don't risk it!!

I hired Amanda for my flowers and initially she agreed to everything I could dream of. Granted I had a 2000 budget and couldn't go over. She under delivered and I was really dis appointed with her professionalism the day of our wedding. She essentially dropped off the flowers and left it up to everyone else to pretty much set up. I'm no flower pro but really!? In my contract there were suppose to be flowers on all the tables...nope just one long table down the center. And I really had this vision since the day I opened my Pinterest board of flowers in my hair...nope. Don't get me wrong I didn't let it stop me from having fun but Moving forward sadly I will not recommend this company.
